thoughts from TA staff retreat

peace
psalm 46:10
mark 4:35-41

be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations - among your children - among Teen Advisors - I will be exalted in the earth.

"Jesus said "let us go over to the other side..." then they took him along" -- Jesus gave instructions, the disciples obeyed - there was still a storm.

Jesus rebuked the wind and the waves - He didn't rebuke the disciples for asking a question

psalm 85:8 "i will listen to what God the Lord will say; He promises peace to His people..."

restore
psalm 51:10-12
mark 6:30-31

zeal
romans 12:11
numbers 25:1-13

(TAs) you are zealous for the honor of God...zealous as He is zealous for His honor

stand
galatians 6:9
1 corinthians 15:58
daniel 10:11, 18-19
ephesians 6:10-18
1 kings 19:1-18

my work done unto you is not in vain - it is not for nothing!

"when He spoke to me i was strengthened." you give strenth to stand. we are strengthened to stand when we hear from Him.

sometimes i feel unequipped...not because You haven't given me what i need - but because i haven't put on the armor to be able to fight.

sufficient
2 corinthians 12:9-10
2 peter 1:3-4
1 timothy 6:6

quit focusing on the limitations and be thankful for the gift

my grace is sufficient for you - accept it...let it be sufficient.

Various other thoughts
even if you forget He loves you, He loves you still.
does His word ever not speak? in some way or another it always seems to speak
2 kinds of enough --
"enough!"...parent to child...rebuke...just stop!! enough!
"enough." ... i am enough. all you need. enough.
